CVE-2023-53214

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to avoid potential memory corruption in __update_iostat_latency()

Add iotype sanity check to avoid potential memory corruption. This is to fix the compile error below:

fs/f2fs/iostat.c:231 __update_iostat_latency() error: buffer overflow 'io_lat->peak_lat[type]' 3 <= 3

vim +228 fs/f2fs/iostat.c

Mixup between META_FLUSH and NR_PAGE_TYPE leads to memory corruption.
